Managing backups

After scheduling backups, you can manage backups for Exchange storage group, SQL Server database,
user-defined application, or shared folders. Based on the backup features that have been configured,
you can run a device backup, run a virtual library backup, or run the Restore From Backup wizard.

IMPORTANT:

Snapshots and backups are not supported on user-defined iSCSI LUN applications.
